Ok guys, I am pulling my hair out...

Is there a way to change the order of the parms when they are prompted for?

Hope I am making sense, an example below:

I have 3 parms: Month, Day & Year

In the Field Explorer they are listed in the order that I created them:

Day
Year
Month

When the report is run, and the user is prompted to enter the parms, I want them to display:

Month
Day
Year

Anyone know how to change this order?

I seem to remember there being UP/DOWN arrows in the Field Explorer. These allowed you to change the order that the parms were displayed (in the prompting dialog box).

Hello
have you tried right-clicking the parameters in the field explorer and selecting "move-up" or "move-down"?

hope this helps!

You didn't mention your version. In 8.0 there were direction keys in the field explorer. In 11.0, right click on the parameter in the field explorer->set parameter order.
